2012 Labor History Conference
Bread, Yes, But Roses Too:  What Are the Roles of Government and Public Sector Unions in Creating and Sharing Our Common Wealth?
The 2012 Pacific Northwest Labor History Conference will be held May 18 – 20 in Tacoma, a struggling city with a proud labor history and a continuing union presence at the ballot box and the work place. The presidential election year of 2012 offers a good opportunity to reassess and relearn some of the history of labor-based politics.
